Why am I getting gore on my racism app?

Better question:
Why is Instagram hosting horrific violence, animal abuse, murders, dead bodies, and other gore videos AT ALL?
They aren't rotten.com, so why host it? If you don't host it, then you don't need to worry about the feeds screwing up.
Do they do porn videos too? There's the next potential problem...
tbf if you go looking for it you can find it on any service because people post it everywhere for some reason. Its actually really suprising how I haven't come across any on lemmy (im sure its here somewhere ive just never seen it).
The real problem is algorithms picking up on negative interactions and showing it to more people based on that.

Disable your NSFW block setting and every 1/3 post is porn, or the dedicated instance http://lemmynsfw.com/ (warning NSFW if it wasn't obvious)
It's actually so active I wish there was a dedicated option for "porn NSFW" and "other NSFW" when making a post because since most people have the block setting on nobody will see it, even if it's just like a photo of art with blood in it or something mild

Instagram is so awful. I go to search and it’s filled with AI girls and cosplay/bikini/lingerie girls. I don’t follow any of those kinds of accounts.

Doing the lords work and I appreciate you!
Doing the lords work would probably be to support 404 for doing the lords work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I see someone’s been reading their Frantz Fanon
No idea who that is, but I learned an important lesson from Uvalde. One of the values that a capitalist society attenpts to instill is a sense of rugged individualism. Even professional tough guys, when thinking death is on the line, will hesitate, as we saw. As a minority in america, when some iteration of the proud boys comes knocking to check your birth certificate, it is imperative that you get them thinking that there's a chance that they don't walk away. Get them thinking, "What about me?" and you chances of survival increase.

Yep. Just checked. I don’t use it hardly at all, but now it’s loaded with pro-trump, -musk, -doge, transphobe, etc. Just a crapload of right-wing bullshit.

There is a simple fix: delete your instagram account.

My mother doesn't use Instagram, but she's been getting videos on Facebook of people in shootouts/duels/armed robberies/etc, apparently from a brazilian (or at least Portuguese speaking) page, usually ending with someone dead.

The rumor is that the moderation team for those images which on strike temporarily

Perhaps to desensitize the common person to the impending brutal violence that will be sweeping the united states.
On a related note, if you are a member of a marginalized group in the united states, you are behind the curve if you do not own, and are not basically proficient with, some form of self defense. This includes some kind of martial art, but a visible deterent is prefered.
The people who post that stuff want to psychologically damage people, especially young people. PTSD is real and has real effects.

It's because they are massive online attacks by govt orgs. That's why they have access to all that footage, especially war footage - it's theirs. That's why all those Russian torture videos exist - many are literally just officers and prison guards for Putin, and he releases them as a warning to spies and people abroad.

I believe it is more refined than that. People in sound mind do not like violence, they want a peaceful and stable life for their families and friends.
If you show violence, you portray a threat. Over time people will be more lenient to surveillance and restriction of freedom in the name of law and order. Look at US people, tolerating torture and widespread vigilance since 11/9. All while still spewing "China bad" or "Putin bad". Why? The ends justify the means.
Let's see if it was a mistake or if the violence is here to stay in Meta apps

Because people are sick and if you put an upload button on any website, the sickness will spread through it. Instagram has content moderators and probably AI to filter it but if you have more sick people uploading this shit than moderators, well it gets through. Believe me, they dont want to host it because its not advertiser friendly and alienates users.. there is no incentive to them hosting this, as you said, they arent rotten.

Lol I thought you meant the exact opposite thing, having to miss any picture with a nipple in it because I don't wanna see beheading videos or whatnot
